Just spent a week with a Prius

We rented a Prius for our journeys through southern Utah last week, and were way more impressed than we expected to be. Not quite Saab seats, but very comfortable for manual seats with few adjustments. No problems doing 80 at the end of entrance ramps; no problems passing on the two lanes; had it over 95 when passing a line of trucks once and it was holding the road and still accelerating. A couple of friends joined us for a day, and they reported the back seat to be roomy and comfortable. The CVT takes a little getting used to, but the car is technologically amazing. We drove primarily on back roads in/around Utah's national parks, with some interstate cruising to/from Las Vegas, and a minimum of in-town driving, averaging 52.4 mpg for the week.
